Johnson Gentry Ltd. Haveners AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVE STORES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY responsible for all the sailing, all the naVI- gation and piloting, and, I hope, all the revelry. The crew-as of this writing, in addition to Allan Jouning we will have DavId Murphy as first mate, Diane Bowlus as stewardess, and J ud y Harmon as cook- will look after the maintenance of the vessel, cook and serve, and in case of emer- gency, help as required. I shall be the captain of the vessel. the producer and director of the film (except that I shall rely heavily on an expert cine- matographer-director for guidance), the scriptwriter, and the narrator. The owners' party consists of three men approximately my own age (54), and three young men, age 25-30. All of us have sailed extensively. I have in mInd an hour devoted only in part to the mechanics of sailing. These would be touched upon onl} Insofar as they enliven the narrative The documen- tary will be the story of SIX friends sharing an experience about which many people dream. The inevitable themes will be touched upon-the perils of the sea, the nature of the sea's emergencies, the pre- cautions one takes, the mysteries of know- ing where you are by celestial navigation, the telltale signs of wind changes and haz- ardous weather, some of the electronic and other gear that are fashioned to maximize safety, the design of the sail and the basic rigging, the transmogrification of the can- vas and cable into the motive force that; propels 60 tons of boat at twelve knots; and so forth. But I have in mind something extremely personal: my own reactions to the experience, my relationship with my friends, what we talk about during the hours we share together, whether at meals, at midday or sunset, or at night during the long watches. Every member of the own- ers' party will keep a diary, and selected portions of it will be integrated into the final script. The cinematographer and his sound man will have been (so to speak) invited to share the first leg of the voyage with us. It will require about five days to traverse the first leg. The winds in that part of the world are stiff and from east by north. This will pitch the boat in a close reach, giving speed and action. It is estimated that the cinematographer will shoot ap- proximately twenty hours of film, from which the hour will be edited. I envIsion a closing film of Sealestial and her crew departing on the long eastward leg to the Azores, at which point I would hope that the viewer feels that he is thoroughly expe- rienced in the vicissitudes of ocean sailing, envious of the pleasures of it, well ac- quainted with the crew and the mix of personalities, wistful at not remaining aboard to complete the passage, but re- spectful of the primacy of the enterprise, which is an advance in companionship at sea. And so it was that when we did leave St Thomas we left St. Thomas not once but three times. Mark Dichter, as sound engineer, headed the team, of which the other member was David Watts, the cameraman. (They had been dispatched by the producer, Bob Halmi, who would meet us in Bermuda) Both were in their early 75 Æ'>: ':' "",*,: ::"". .
